Getting Started with Turkey–Chile Trade
Starting trade between Turkey and Chile requires coordinated decisions on product fit, compliance, landed cost and counterparties.
1. Validate the product and target market
Confirm the HS code, specifications, customer profile and competing price levels. Permits and labeling rules vary by product, especially for food, agriculture and industrial goods.
2. Calculate landed cost
Add freight, insurance, duties, port charges, inland transport and financing to the product price. Compare quotations on the same Incoterms basis.
3. Verify the counterparty
Check company registration, capacity, quality certificates, export history and banking details. Samples or pilot orders reduce risk before a larger commitment.
4. Document the operating plan
State lead times, quality tolerances, payment method, inspection points and dispute procedures clearly in the contract.
